Using JT format - Standard format, which most MCAD systems allow importing (some with additional licenses); - Devices and wires are exported as graphics and as structure elements. 2. STEP format cannot be used because it is converted to an E3 internal format when importing to a DBE model and it is not possible to create a STEP again from the stored data - Saving the STEP information additionally to the library would corrupt the library. ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-15-06-00-PM.png?width=572&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-15-06-00-PM.png) - This would not solve the component issue and the user would have to reload the STEP files into the database. 3. The export takes into account the following dashboard settings - View wire parameters; - 2D to 3D graphics; - View 3D step models. ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Aug-06-2021-06-29-36-92-PM.png) 4. Geometry is exported as shown in the 3D representation. 5. The following settings can be made in the dialog: - Export range:               All: Everything from the dashboard is exported;               Selection: Only currently selected items are exported. - Options:               Include graphics: 2D graphics (lines) are also exported. (Default enabled);               Include STEP edges: The edges of STEP models are also exported as lines. ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-06-2021-06-30-27-92-PM.png?width=718&name=image-png-Aug-06-2021-06-30-27-92-PM.png) ###### Highlight Command on Panel 1. Use global 'Highlight' settings when jumping to 3D panel ![Newfeatures2021](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Newfeatures2021.jpg?width=721&name=Newfeatures2021.jpg) 2. Use better markup for selected elements in 3D Panel ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-21-50-43-PM.png) ###### Highlight Panel Path 1. New command: Highlight Panel Path/Reset Highlight Panel Path - Shows the path of a wire routed in the panel with a defined color and width ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-24-38-19-PM.png) - The highlight is shown on all sheets where this wire is displayed (2D, 3D view) - If the sheet is not opened, it will open automatically (except shared sheets) - COM calls              ret = pin.HighlightPanelPath (color, width, sheetOpenFlag)              ret = pin.ResetHighlightPanelPath ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-25-03-20-PM.png) 2. Highlight Panel Path - Select highlight color and width ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-25-57-42-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-26-13-99-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-26-50-41-PM.png?width=627&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-26-50-41-PM.png) 3. Highlight Panel Path After the command, the wire highlight color is shown in the device tree ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-27-42-28-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-28-09-48-PM.png?width=545&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-28-09-48-PM.png) - If the wires are routed through the cable input/output duct, the corresponding input/output will be shown with a different sign (Cross, circle, ...). ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-29-06-75-PM.png?width=545&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-29-06-75-PM.png) ###### Placement on the Panel 1. When moving a device from one 2D view to another pivoted 2D View, the device is automatically rotated ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-32-26-84-PM.png?width=566&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-32-26-84-PM.png) 2. No collision when placing multiple contiguous models directly into an existing model - So far it is only possible for single models or if the selected models were not placed contiguous. ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-33-13-72-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-33-26-34-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-33-50-76-PM.png) 3. Automatic fitting of cable ducts is independent of Z coordinate - Even though the baseline of the cable ducts is different, they are automatically adjusted so they don't overlap. ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-34-46-43-PM.png?width=536&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-34-46-43-PM.png) ###### Panel Routing 1. Defining the filling limit for each cable duct separately in the project ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-06-2021-06-32-51-81-PM.png?width=717&name=image-png-Aug-06-2021-06-32-51-81-PM.png) 2. Default setting for all ducts in project settings ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-36-04-33-PM.png) 3. New COM calls - Dev.GetCableDuctFillLimit - Dev.SetCableDuctFillLimit - Dev.GetCableDuctWarningLimit - Dev.SetCableDuctWarningLimit 4 . Additional message in panel routing - If the bandwidth to seal the cable duct is too small, the duct will not be found. ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-37-23-30-PM.png?width=540&name=image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-37-23-30-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-37-37-11-PM.png) ![](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/hubfs/image-png-Jul-22-2021-01-37-47-57-PM.png) Use the button below and test the E3.series software according to your demand:   ---   [![Trial E3.series](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/215943/165862a7-4c20-45d5-9ca6-ac6a6fc43d28.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/215943/165862a7-4c20-45d5-9ca6-ac6a6fc43d28)   Topics [Optimization](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/topic/optimization) [Design](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/topic/design) [Project Management](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/topic/project-management) [E3.series](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/topic/e3series) [Electrical Engineering](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/topic/electrical-engineering) [Applications](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/topic/applications) About The Author ![Arthur Hoerlle](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/118d16cd64117a533a35e890a7e46205) [ Arthur Hoerlle ](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/author/arthur-hoerlle) **SUBSCRIBE** TO THE BLOG [Subscribe to RSS feeds](https://www.e3seriescenters.com/en-us/modern-electrical-engineering-blog/rss.xml) ### Subscribe To Email ### Recent Posts ### BLOG AUTHORS -
